Design: Nickl & Partner Architekten AG

Expansion of the world-class Bahrenfeld research campus in Hamburg continues. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new HARBOR (Hamburg Advanced Research Centre for Bioorganic Chemistry) building designed by Nickl & Partner Architekten took place on 21 December2017.

Katharina Fegebank, deputy mayor of the City of Hamburg and senator for science, research and equality, together with Dr Martin Hecht, chancellor of Universität Hamburg, Prof. Dr Arwen Pearson, scientific director of the HARBOR and Martin Görge, CEO of Sprinkenhof GmbH, ceremoniously broke ground for the new research building.

The new building will provide the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences at Universität Hamburg with the infrastructure for experiments with ultra-short time resolutions on molecular biological systems. The new building will be handed over to the user, Universität Hamburg, in mid-2020.
